ABSTRACT

The purpose of this article is to analyze the works of children's paintings which focus on traditional architectural paintings made of bamboo, especially bamboo roof. In order to understand the level of expression, creativity, and psychologies development of the children. This study used a qualitative and participatory method. The researcher directly observed the process of children’s painting, to explore the psychology, expression, and aesthetics. Viktor Lowenfeld, (1957) professor of art education at the Pennsylvania State University, he wrotes in "Creative and Mental Growth" explained that there are six stages of creative age grouping, but for research in Penglipuran researchers only chose two. The first, ages 7-9, is called the early realism stage. At this stage in artistic development, children begin to become more critical of their work. The second, 10-13 years of age, is called the pseudo-naturalistic stage, the use of values and light is now visible in pictures. Penglipuran children are very proud of the customs, traditions, and culture. This pride raises the intention to develop creativity in the form of painting and craftsmanship, and tourist attractions. The elders keep maintaining to pass the heritages to the next generations. The result of this creativity process is varied, one of them are traditional architecture made of bamboo, the house entrance of Penglipuran residents. Their sensitivity in capturing objects is very creative and expressive, straightforward and free. This children's painting shows the development of expressive and very dynamic use of line, shape, darkness, light, shadow, and color.
